'Scots men have been named the manliest in the world in a survey, with our English neighbours trailing badly in third place.

Voters were impressed by Scotland's rugged landscape and its status as the birthplace of Rob Roy and William Wallace, as well as modern-day macho men such as Sean Connery, Gordon Ramsay and Gerard Butler.

We topped the poll with 26 per cent of the vote, followed by Australia (16), England (15), Russia (14) and Finland (seven).'

You might be kilt for those comments.

There's really no reason for other men to exist. Sean Connery receiving his knighthood in his formal kilt, is the most gorgeous creature ever to walk the earth...with the possible exception of Gerard Butler.

All womanhood released a collective scream of pain and anguish on the news that Ewan McGregor would no longer be doing on-screen nudes sequences. What has the World come to? (sniff)

Note: I do not believe Alan Cumming is a Scot. He must be Irish.

Is this because they let their junk swing freely?

Scots are tough hombres, to be sure.

But America’s foundation was laid by the toughest of the tough Islanders, those who wished to brave the New World, rule themselves, and ultimately rebelled from the King (Aussies are the children of the convicts of the islands).

Americans are not as tough as we once were, but I’m still hoping that our old toughness will re-merge when we are once again called to rise.

Who among us is not intimidated by a Scottish troupe?

Ever see one toss a caber? Well...

I think the Finnians would have something to say about this.

macho men such as Gordon Ramsay....

That guys an idiot.

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints, and were stuck in the thick head. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer, and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink, held it out over the beer, and started yelling, “SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT YOU BASTARD!!!!”

From the Irish side...

A year or two ago here on FR, someone posted an article about the Scots being the best/toughest warriors.

There are numerous contenders for this title. But the Scots are definitely among them.

They had to leave out the Republic of Texas. They should re label their little survey to “After Texas” the Manliest Men are from...

“Now, the kilt was only for day-to-day wear. In battle, we donned a full-length ball gown covered in sequins. The idea was to blind your opponent with luxury.”

I saw Tommy Makem sing that 42 years ago.
